Simpelveld

Etymology
First attested as semplouei and senplouoir in 1155. Derived from the Gallo-Roman toponym, here perhaps referring to a forest of holly. Proposed derivations from or a compound of 🇨🇬 and  do not match well with the oldest attestations. The current form of the toponym developed under the influence of a folk-etymological reinterpration of the name as a compound of and.
